Enjoy an evening of great music in an intimate gallery setting.
Join Rockland Center for the Arts for a concert with the distinct, colorful
music of Particle Theory, on Saturday, March 11th at 7:30pm.
Since the mid 90’s, Gregg Terlizzi, Lee Baronian And Arthur Toufayan have
created some very distinct, colorful music that collaborates Middle
Eastern, Jazz and Blue Grass. With timing changes and unique tempos as well
as the wonderful blend of percussion, mandolin, and guitar, this band has
formulated a unique sound second to none.
Lee Baronian: acclaimed percussionist whose versatile musical style ranges
from Jazz to Middle Eastern to Rock to Bluegrass. He has performed with
world-renowned percussionist Arto Tuncboyaciyan from the Al DiMeola and Joe
Zawinul groups. He has also toured through Europe with Middle Eastern
fusion groups Taksim and Transition. Currently, he is the co-founder of the
band “Particle Theory”, a band in he describes as Jazz-grass fusion.
Gregg Terlizzi: the co-founder of the band “Particle Theory”. His early
guitar influence was in rock music where he led two different groups “Sick
and Tired” and “The Shredders”. In his early 20’s he discovered the sounds
of jazz great Wes Montgomery, which would later change his style of playing
and composing. As his jazz roots grew so did his interest in bluegrass
music. He began studying mandolin and listened to the masters such as Bill
Monroe, David Grisman, and Sam Bush. His unique style and diverse
background are the basis of the Particle Theory sound.
Arthur Toufayan, heralding from a long line of Armenien heritage, was first
exposed to the style of Middle Eastern Music through his greatest
influence, his grandfather, Artin Toufayan. At the age of 4, Arthur began
spending much of his time alongside his grandfather either at the famous,
family owned Toufayan Bakery or while he plucked the oud, the short necked,
fretless 11 string lute like instrument. Drawn to the music, Arthur began
taking guitar lessons at the age of 12 with interest in heavy metal then
eventually the Grateful Dead and the whimsical sounds of Jerry Garcia’s
guitar. From there, Arthur found himself engulfed in the styles of Django
Reinhardt, Doc Watson, Tony Rice, Rick Neilson, Eddie Van Halen, Bob
Marley, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. He teamed up with John Siliato to form
Wigjam, one of northern New Jersey’s original Grateful Dead Tribute Bands
and soon after teamed up with Lee Baronian and Gregg Terlizzi to form the
band Particle Theory. Both bands continue to play throughout the tri-state
area.

The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion
Sculptures by Dorothy M. Gillespie
The Catherine Konner Sculpture Park
Oct. 15, 2021 – Oct. 2023
Free to the Public, Dawn to Dusk
RoCA is proud to present the The Enchanted Garden: Colors in Motion exhibit as a part of a tribute to the 20th Century artist and feminist, Dorothy Gillespie. The exhibit will open October 15th in The Catherine Konner Sculpture Park at RoCA.
Dorothy Gillespie’s joyful and brilliantly colored starbursts glimmer hanging from the trees as well as lining the pathway. The pieces create an enchanted garden of colors in motion. Though stationary they seem to possess a kinetic quality. Two larger pieces can be seen at the entry to RoCA. The exhibit was partially installed this summer and will be completed for exhibit October 15th. The exhibit will remain on display through October 2023.
Gillespie (1920-2012) was born in Roanoke, VA and lived in Nyack during the later years of her life. She pioneered joyful, new directions of metal sculpture and is best known for large-scale, colorfully painted arrangements of cut aluminum strips curling, radiating, or undulating in giant arrangements of ribbons, enchanted towers, or bursting fireworks. She was well known as a painter, sculptor and installation artist whose work incorporated many significant 20th-century trends in art.
During Dorothy Gillespie’s youth … “girls did not attend art school, at least not ‘nice’ girls,” said Gillespie in 2010. Nevertheless, she was determined to be an artist and attended the Maryland Institute College in Baltimore. She was more fortunate than women sculptors in the 19th Century who were mostly hired as studio assistants by established male sculptors with few exhibitions. Harriet Hosmer, Emma Stebbins, Edmonia Lewis, Frances Grimes and Helen Mears were some of the few who made names in the arts as women during that time. They did not pursue monumental work as frequently as men did and mostly produced works in bronze and consistent middle-class demand for small-scale sculpture to decorate the home and garden. Today many more women are now entering traditional male dominated sculpture roles in metal, wood and stone, thanks to the pioneering activism of women like Dorothy Gillespie in the 20th century.
An influential force in the women’s movement, Gillespie encouraged more women’s art in museums and art in public spaces. In 1970, Gillespie joined Women in the Arts and created picket signs protesting at the Whitney Museum demanding that the curators choose more women artists for their “Annual exhibition. The demonstration worked, and more women artists were chosen for the show. Although the increase was very slow, over time it increased from 8 percent to 40 percent. Gillespie was the Founder of the Women Artists Historical Archives of the Women’s Interart Center in NY, NY, filming and taping interviews of some of the most important women artists of the 20th century as well as presenting her own radio show. Gillespie along with Joyce Weinstein founded a group called the NY Professional Women Artists. The 14 members lectures at Universities and wrote articles to encourage other women artists.
Gillespie also coordinated a course to educate and enlighten women in the visual arts, after being invited to teach at The New School in NYC. The intent was to prepare women for a new, more aggressive role to function in the art world. Due to her already busy schedule, she asked artist Alice Barber to share the task of revealing to the young students the ‘system’ that drove the NY art world and how to succeed. In 1974 she organized an innovative outdoor exhibition, Walk Through Art, mounted in Central Park, Battery Park, and Rockefeller Center, then travelling to fifty colleges, universities and street fairs. Compelled to involve viewers in her work, she created large 7 ft high triangles of art for people to walk through the sculptures. Gillespie has held positions of designing programs as a Professor of Art, being a Board of Trustees for more than one college or art center, as a visiting artist in residency and as the Chairperson of the Fine Arts Committee for the International Women’s Art Festival.
Dorothy Gillespie’s career spanned seven decades, always at the forefront of the American Art movement. She studied at the Maryland Institute College in Baltimore before moving to New York City, where she studied at the Art Students League. Her works grace many institutions, museums, colleges, universities and public spaces, including the permanent collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the United States Mission to the United Nations. She was one of the first artists to offer her art to the world through displays in the lobbies of public institutions and governmental centers such as the Mayo Clinic, Epcot Center, Warren Wilson College, Fort Lauderdale Airport-Delta Terminal, Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, the Miami Public Library, United States Mission to the United Nations, and the Court House Square – Roanoke, VA and Universities across the country.
Among her many honors, Gillespie received the Alice Baber Art Fund, Inc. Grant Award: a Doctor of Pedagogy from Niagara University in Niagara Falls, A Doctor of Fine Arts (Honoris Causa) from Caldwell College in Caldwell, NY, an Allied Professions Award from the Virginia Society, the American Institute of Architects in Richmond, VA., the Distinguished Alumni Award from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, the Outstanding Services Award from University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women’s Caucus for Art, and the Gala 8 “Distinguished Woman” Award at Birmingham Southern College.
The Catherine Konner Sculpture Park is open from dawn to dusk, free to the public. Brochures can be picked up at the registration desk. For more information visit: www.rocklandartcenter.org or call 845-358-0877.
This exhibition was made possible thanks to the generous support of The Dorothy M. Gillespie Foundation and Gary Israel.
RoCA’s programs are made possible, in part, with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Funding is also made possible by the County of Rockland.

Post-Impressionism In Its Own Right: Online Class
2023-03-14 10:00 - 11:00 | Bethany Arts Community, 40 Somerstown Rd, Ossining, NY, 10562, United States
Join Jill Kiefer, Ph.D. as she leads her Online Course series for BAC entitled: “Post-Impressionism In Its Own Right” for 6 Tuesdays, 02/21-03/28, 2023 from 10 – 11 AM.
Discussions of Post-Impressionism are often limited to its relationship with Impressionism. But this diverse and distinctive movement stands very much on its own—having traveled quite different paths than those explored by the Impressionists. Indeed, Post-Impressionism embraced the past, the present, and the future—and its influence remains a force today.
In this program, we’ll focus on the key Post-Impressionists (Seurat, Cézanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin) to examine their unique achievements. Which ones most avidly pursued symbolic and subjective meanings in their art? How and why did structure, optics and order become the obsession of others? In what ways did their combined efforts and aesthetic visions define what would become the modern idiom? Join us as we seek the answers to these questions, and identify how Post-Impressionism fits into the broad tapestry that is art history.

Latinlounge with Cuban singer & pianist Ariacne Trujillo Duran! 3/15 6/8PM
2023-03-15 17:00 - 22:00 | Roost Restaurant,2 Union Street, Sparkill, NY 10976, USA
Roost Restaurant is happy to invite you to our March Latin Lounge at Union
Arts Center! Presented by Mz. Valentine, March’s Latin Lounge will showcase
the music of Ariacne Trujillo Duran.
Grammy nominee Ariacne Trujillo Duran was born in Havana, Cuba. She began
her career as a child prodigy. Blessed with perfect pitch, she’s had an
extensive career as a concert pianist and composer. She achieved Master
prizes and Special Mentions in national and international Cuban
competitions and performed at the country’s top theaters and halls. At age
14, Ariacne was chosen to perform with Matanzas and Santiago de Cuba’s
symphonic orchestra. While working as a lead singer, dancer and pianist at
the legendary Cabaret Tropicana, she pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in music
piano performance from Cuba’s hyper-competitive ISA Conservatory.
In 2002 she arrived in New York City after winning a Residency Fellowship
in musical composition at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Since
then, Trujillo has been in numerous significant projects, such as the 14
piece New York Times-acclaimed Timba band “La bola,” where she was the
Musical Director, pianist, and lead vocalist. She was the lead vocalist and
pianist with The Pedrito Martinez Group for over 6 years, where she
performed in many of the most important Jazz Festivals around the world
such as:
Red Sea Jazz Fest. Newport Jazz Fest, Umbria Jazz Fest, Montreaux Jazz
Fest, Peruggia Jazz Fest, Daegu International Jazz Fest, The Murton
Percussion Fest, San Fransisco Jazz Fest, etc.
With her powerful musical presence and versatility, Trujillo has become one
of the virtuoso pianists and vocalists from the New York area.
Trujillo recently graduated with a Suma Cum Laude Bachelor of Art in Music
at the New Jersey City University and is already on the Master Jazz
Program. In 2018 she accepted the Musical Director’s position for the
off-Broadway production “Carmen to Havana and Back.” Performing with her
Quintet, she has received critical acclaim as the production’s arranger,
singer, and Master of Ceremonies. In 2022, she was the pianist of another
off-Broadway production “My Broken Language”, written and directed by
Quiara Alegria and musical supervised by Alex Lacamore. One of Trujillo’s
compositions was included in Terri Lyne Carrington’s book New Standards,
published by Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice.
Trujillo’s Unique Style derives from her countless professional
participations mixed in with her intrinsic musical instinct. Her music
characteristically carries a special treatment of the implicit rhythm of
the “Tumbaos,” mixing the traditional Cuban Music with “Timba” and
classical highlights, charged with aggressive harmonization with great
technical complexity and creativity.
Trujillo has performed, shared a stage, and recorded with legends such as
Paul Simon, Paquito D. Rivera, Wynton Marsalis, Steve Gadd, Jonny Pacheco,
John Scofield, Javier Limón, Steve Turre, Brian Lynch, Lew Soloff, Taj
Mahal, Diego El Cigala, Alain Perez, Jimmy Busch, Derek Trucks, Isaac
Delgado, and Esperanza Spalding.
Her vocal technique stems from an opera background with an extensive and
sometimes slightly raspy range where she constantly phrases and uses
methods of R&B, Opera, Funk, Blues, Jazz, and Soul.

elderly, and Spring, a ten-year-old girl. USA, 2022, 82 minutes.

Directors Statement: I have always been intrigued by pieces that are told
as a series of stories that link to each other: either thematically, by
sharing characters, or by unfolding linearly over a period of time. In this
film the four stories are linked in all three ways. They are all romantic,
they are told serially as the seasons succeed each other, and in each story
after the first, one character from the previous story reappears.
Paul Schwartz is a writer, director and composer. His work is in the field
of dramatic story-telling in all its forms, and encompasses projects in
film, theatre, opera and dance. Recent film projects include TIME CAN BREAK
YOUR HEART and A NEW YORK STORY. He is the composer of two operas, multiple
ballet scores for New York City Ballet, Milwaukee Ballet, Lucinda Childs
Dance Company and others. He is the creator of two cult series of
recordings: the ARIA series and the STATE OF GRACE series, which have sold
over a million copies world wide. He has sold millions more through his
collaborations with Carlos Santana, Josh Groban, and David Foster.
